Blood part 2 Flashcards
What are the types of Leukocytes?
- granular
- agranular
Which are the granular leukocytes?
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
Which are the agranular leukocytes?
monocytes
lymphocytes
When is the nucleus of neutrophils more segmented?
in aged neutrophils
how long do neutrophils live?
2-4 days
What is this cell?
Neutrophil
What is this cell?
Neutrophils
When do we release many neutrophils?
in acute infections
What are these cells?
Neutrophils
What is diapedesis?
When white Blood Cells leave the vasculature and enter the interstitial space when bacteria are present.
How do cells do diapedesis?
cells secrete L-selectin, that binds to endothelial cells receptor causing cells to roll and slow down
cells use integrins to bind glycoproteins on endothelial cells to become stationary
cells squeeze through gaps in the endothelium
Neutrophils have 2 types of granules?
- Azurophilic
- Specific
What do Azurophilic granules contain?
myeloperoxidase
elastase
lysozyme
What do specific granules contain?
anti-microbial peptides
collagenases: help squeee through CT/Endthelium
What s this?
Neutrophil
How is the nucleus of Eosinophils?
bilobed
When are eosinophils released?
when there is allergic reactions or parasites
how long do eosinophils live?
1 month
What is the one on top and the one on the bottom
respectively: neutrophil and eosinophil
What is this?
Esosinophil
What is this?
Eosinophil
What cell is this? What are the black lines pointing to?
Eosinophil and the lines point to its granules
What do eosinophilic granules have?
they contain hydrolytic enzymes
How much do Basophils make up of leukocytes?
0.5-1%
What is a distinguishible aspect of these cells?
They have BIG, Basophilic Granules
What do Basophils do?
they are involved in inflammation
What do Basophils release?
Histamine, Heparin
What do Basophils stimulate vasculature to do?
To vasodilate and increase permeability
Identify these cells
Left: neutrophil
Right up: neutrophil
Right down: basophil
What is this?
Basophil
How much do Monocytes make up of Leukocytes?
3-8% of white blood cells
What organelle does a Monocyte contain a lot of in the cytoplasm?
Lysosomes
What do Monocytes do?
they phagocytose and present antigen to T cells
They are antigen-presenting-cells
What cell is this?
Monocyte
What cell is this?
Monocyte
What cell is this?
Monocyte
